I just use a standard 6 plug board. I always want each plug separately switched. What is a whizz bang powerboard thingy? The ones I’ve bought have all had surge protection for many years now. I thought it was just normal.

The brand is the bit that I wanted advice about.
Son#2’s powerboard has extra added bits, or something, he bought it for his gaming life. Cost $$$.
I like the idea of individual switches too.

I don’t think I’ve bothered to look at brand. I always just wanted surge protection and individual switches. I’ll have a look at the ones I’ve got. I’ve got quite a few because we had them in my practice and they all came home with me when we closed up.

When the shop closed down I got all this sort of stugg thrown at me. There is a whiz bang Belkin powerboard with more things I don’t understand on it than I could cope with but the interesting thing is, it doesnt work. All the cheapo’s I’ve bought over the years that have been down opal mines with me and still all work.
